Welcome back, everyone! It’s the middle of the week, which means now we get to start thinking about Friday. Let’s be honest, though, there are some weeks when I start thinking about Friday on Sunday evening.

I’m already seeing Christmas stuff despite Halloween still being two weeks away. I know there’s the recurring joke that Christmas decor is getting put out earlier and earlier and I think that’s pretty accurate.

This year, I’m pretty meh on the holidays. How are you feeling?

The author is Madeleine Robins, and she is releasing a new book in her Sarah Tolerance series, The Doxie’s Penalty.

If you’re in the New England area, the Boston Book Fest is taking place on 10/25. There is a romance panel planned and Julia Quinn was interviewed in The Boston Globe about her involvement. I believe she’ll be doing a keynote.

Don’t forget to share what cool or interesting things you’ve seen, read, or listened to this week! And if you have anything you think we’d like to post on a future Wednesday Links, send it my way!
